This tile panel, created sometime between 1760 and 1780, is one of three depicting the seasons, by Dutch artist Johannes (I) Aelmis, known for his exquisite blue-and-white Delftware designs. This particular panel shows a figure in a landscape setting, likely representing Summer, with lush foliage and elaborate Rococo floral patterns adorning the borders. The use of cobalt blue on white tin-glazed earthenware, characteristic of Delftware, creates a striking contrast and showcases the artistry of the period.
Comments
Couples with individual attributes represent three of the four seasons. An elegant, Rococo border frames the scenes. The panels probably come from a room once decorated with tiles.
